Chris Goulding was featured in a segment the American SportsCenter had on flopping.
Worldwide recognition!

Surprised his flopping has not been recognised worldwide before now.
To me it takes away from his game, he is a damn skillful baller.....doesn't need to do the bullsh.t that he had done for a long time.

"doesn't need to do the bullsh.t that he had done for a long time."
He does it because the NBL refs fall for it

It doesn't beat when Wagstaff was featured on their Not Top 10 for that infamous missed layup, the harshest thing was the anchor burnt him over having a neckbeard. Ouch.

Believe me when I state that I HATE FLOPPING!
BUT...
During a Cairns v SEM (I think), Nate J set a perfectly legal screen at elbow of key. Te Rangi, flying down the court, slams into Nate so hard that he, Te Rangi, bounces back a full metre and lands on his back. Nate does not move. No doubt should have been a foul on Te R. Nothing called. Nate forgot to fall over (floppppp!).
Seems that you have to exagerate the foul to get the call, then it goes against you for flopppping.
I still hate it but understand why players feel the need.
RobT - Te Rangi got called for an offensive foul on that exact play, go back and watch..
He was called for a travel.
